Dangerous Road. Loss of village life, wildlife and farmland. Flooding risk.
I live on Mattishall Road directly opposite this proposed development. The said development would destroy the beautiful villages of Honingham and Colton and turn this into an urban sprawl. I frequently see all forms of wildlife in this area and these habitats will be decimated. There is a limit on how humans can carry on destroying all other forms of life, this is totally unacceptable. Bear in mind once built upon this farmland is lost forever. There will be an increased risk of flooding, if you come to Mattishall Road you will see it is already an issue on the lower fields. Mattishall Road is a dangerous road, if you speak to highways they are aware of how many accidents and deaths have happened on the two junctions at Berry's Lane and the Colton road opposite our driveway. How will this ever be made safe. It seems such a shame that small communities are being swallowed up by greed, surely different sites can be found which don't directly affect local villages that already exist.
